It seems a foregone conclusion at this point that the SEC will land three top-eight national seeds — and, perhaps, a fourth. Three series remain for No. 2 Texas A&M, which can all but lock it up beginning this weekend. Are the Aggies peaking at the right time?

Mistakes, errors and a lack of clutch hits early doomed A&M's chances on Saturday against the visiting Crimson Tide. Down 7-0, A&M scored four runs in the ninth inning but ultimately came up short of clinching the series.

The Aggies merely needed a strong rebound during the weekend's series against Georgia. Instead, they made a statement. With a rotation that seems righted and a lineup that is as deep as any 1-through-9, Texas A&M is ready to head to No. 2 Mississippi State.

Following last weekend's sweep at the hands of Florida, No. 6 Texas A&M returned to Olsen Field knowing a series victory against Georgia was a must — and the Aggies answered the bell. Saturday's dominant victory gave us a home run explosion, Jace Vines' strong start and Austin Homan stating his case.

The No. 1 ranking is gone and a Texas A&M team that rightfully has Omaha aspirations now faces a series that, frankly put, is a must-win. The Georgia Bulldogs are the type of team the Aggies would like to see in this situation — but will A&M take care of business?

For the second consecutive year, Texas A&M will be involved in a regular season 1 vs. 2 showdown — this time, as the nation's top team visiting an elite Florida squad in a must-watch SEC series. Can the Aggies make a statement in Gainesivlle?

The weekend's visit from LSU gave Texas A&M the chance to show the nation the truth: the pitching is back on track, the lineup is dangerous and the Aggies deserve the title of baseball's best team. Can they retain it in visits to No. 23 Houston and No. 2 Florida?

Behind a strong start from Jace Vines, who threw six solid innings, Texas A&M grabbed an important victory over its division rival on Thursday night. A&M scored four runs in the its final two at-bats to put the win away.

Always among Texas A&M's most important series of the year, LSU's visit opened with a bang on Thursday. For the Aggies, that is. Led by Jace Vines, J.B. Moss and George Janca, A&M jumped on the Tigers and took game one.

It's that time of year again: Texas A&M and LSU are set to meet on the baseball diamond, renewing a tight rivalry. The Aggies are 19-2, riding high and hosting at Olsen Field; the Tigers are recovering from a bad series loss. Who has the upper hand?

Conference play is underway in the nation's very best — the SEC — and No. 2 Texas A&M held serve in its series at Auburn. However, there are a few kinks to be worked out in short order before a two-week stretch that may define the Aggies' season.

While A&M pummeled two homers over the left field wall, the biggest takeaway on Friday night was the grit and determination the A&M leaders and bullpen displayed in their exciting victory over the Bulldogs.

At No. 3 and 12-1 on the season, Texas A&M is on pace and on schedule. The mid-season jump in competition, however, will arrive a week ahead of time. Visiting Fresno State will bring an 11-2 record and strong pitching staff to Olsen Field beginning Friday.

While this weekend's visit from Yale is centering around George H.W. Bush, No. 3 Texas A&M wanted to add something else to the conversation: another series-opening victory. Behind big performances from J.B. Moss and Jace Vines, the Aggies did just that.

A scare against Houston Baptist is in the rear-view mirror and Texas A&M — with a reshuffled rotation and competition at multiple lineup spots — is on to Yale. Can the Aggies learn more about themselves in a sweeping effort this weekend?
